On our little piece of Texas, the best way to see
fall colors like this is to quilt some!
The leaves look good inside.
The colors look especially good outside.
Because fall is here that means it is JSS Fall Retreat time.
JSS = Just Say Sew
Our Just Say Sew group is THE BEST!
You can read much more about JSS -
This "Autumn Leaves" quilt is a group effort
from our 2002 block exchange.
This fall since I am not attending retreat,
(sad face)
I am connecting in a small way from home
with my JSS quilts on display.
The original pattern was designed by Judy Martin.
That Judy named it Judy's Maple Leaf Autumn Whisper.
It has been featured in several quilt books and publications.
The idea for the rake was taken from a cover quilt
on one of American Patchwork and Quilting magazines.
Quilt measurements are 56" x 82."
Claudia Arth did the beautiful custom quilting.
See the whirl of the raked leaves.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to JSSers -
